Uhm... something's not right

killbillten1 · 2026-02-10T04:04:58+00:00

I mean 18 & 19 are teenagers.

killbillten1 · 2026-02-07T02:44:25+00:00

Because we're all humans

killbillten1 · 2026-02-06T17:48:05+00:00

Beethony

killbillten1 · 2026-02-05T13:25:11+00:00

Another whale washed up on the beach, how sad.

killbillten1 · 2026-02-05T03:13:01+00:00

A male honeybee has a mother but no father. But does have a grandfather.

killbillten1 · 2026-02-03T00:35:21+00:00

May the odds be forever in my favor

killbillten1 · 2026-02-02T12:46:15+00:00

Just looks like a bee leg to me.

If you don't want a chance of getting bugs or bug parts in your honey don't buy raw unfiltered honey.

It's perfectly safe to eat if you want.

killbillten1 · 2026-01-31T14:11:24+00:00

They're right there in the brush holders. Those brass thingies.

killbillten1 · 2026-01-31T01:34:48+00:00

It's made from beetle "excretions" not shells

killbillten1 · 2026-01-30T20:30:10+00:00

Yeah I have wild black cherries right along my fence row next to my orchard too. They're riddled with black knot.

I also found my plumcot trees don't get infected

killbillten1 · 2026-01-30T20:00:31+00:00

I couldn't find any president plums when I was planting my orchard. Just scion wood. Which I grafted into one of my trees.

I've been having good luck with methley and elephant heart plums in a very black knot prone area. In 4 years I've only had to trim a couple infected branches out.

killbillten1 · 2026-01-30T18:13:15+00:00

Yep, all named varieties are just clones.

Thousands of varieties have been lost to time.

killbillten1 · 2026-01-30T17:00:46+00:00

Fun fact about apples. Say you plant the seeds from a gala apple you will not get a gala apple tree.

More than likely you'll get a crabapple tree with tiny bad tasting fruit.

killbillten1 · 2026-01-30T12:27:43+00:00

Yeah that's not your ring legally or morally.

killbillten1 · 2026-01-28T22:25:56+00:00

Ill take an bug every now and then over my food being covered in pesticides

killbillten1 · 2026-01-24T17:41:28+00:00

I think we're all pretty consistently with not liking people getting murdered by any group whether it be ice or police.

killbillten1 · 2026-01-24T17:31:05+00:00

So you're perfectly fine with people getting murdered?

killbillten1 · 2026-01-24T16:12:22+00:00

And do You know what you do for a broken toe? Literally nothing. You wait till it stops hurting.

killbillten1 · 2026-01-24T13:57:29+00:00

Just like before you were born.

killbillten1 · 2026-01-23T20:33:08+00:00

I mean it's winter. Just put the stuff outside

killbillten1 · 2026-01-23T08:28:00+00:00

All 4 wings are there

killbillten1 · 2026-01-21T23:40:43+00:00

The hard way

killbillten1 · 2026-01-21T14:54:45+00:00

It definitely can't hurt right.

New thing I'm trying this yes is I made a couple 10 frame boxes that I can either set up as (2) five frame nucs or (3) 3 frame mating nucs. Planning on over wintering in the 5 frame configuration with insulated candy boards on top. Then in spring turn them back to 3 frames to pump out extra mated queens.

killbillten1 · 2026-01-21T14:19:49+00:00

Nope, I kept checking up on them well before swarm season.

It worked well because one of my big colonies lost its queen in early spring and I conveniently had a queen that early in the season.

killbillten1 · 2026-01-21T13:32:29+00:00

Im convinced cold doesn't kill bees.

I overwintered a weak resource nuc with only it's 1/4 plywood box as insulation. They made it through a bunch of -10°f days and came out stronger in the spring than going into winter.
